Loose Connections Lesson

I had an old computer in house which was not working properly and required to replace with latest one. I built a new computer in 2008 for my home use. The configurations are as follows:

1. Processor : Intel Pentium-4 Dual CPU 2.00 Ghz
2. HDD : 120 GB
3. RAM : 1 Ghz
4. CD Drive : Samsung
5. Sound : Realtalk HD Audio Support
6. Monitor : LCD Monitor (LG Brand)
7. Keyboard : A4 Tech
8. Mouse : A4 Tech (Optical Mouse)

I bought all the parts separately (with warranty) from local market and built by myself. I set up all the parts on motherboard one by one. After set up the part, when I started the Computer it was not working due to CPU connectivity.

I thought it was the problem of connection point of motherboard. I checked again and found it is Okay. It was needed to check the connection cable of CPU to UPS but I did not have required instruments to check it. I communicated to my supplier to let him know the problem. He suggested meeting to him with my CPU and cable. I did it. He checked it and found there was a problem in connectivity cable. He changed it and gave me a new one.

Second problem I found regarding Hard Drive. After installation of all hardware and software it was working but few minutes later hard drives were not found. I opened the CPU and checked the position and connection of Hard Drive and found it is Okay. I made sure connection of Hard Drive was all the way in, and start the computer again. It is done!

From that time I never face any difficulty with last built computer and it is running very well.
